Has anyone heard from Bessiedawg?

18 years ago

Some of us on the Pet Forum are concerned as we haven't heard from her recently. Hopefully she and hubby are just resting and recuperating.

If you see this, let us know how you are. We all miss you.

The few people who have my info I trust, we have shared both directions. I would hope my husband would be able find his way here to post if something happens. But it might not occur to him. So having a friend here who could contact him is a good idea. The plus of Linners having my address is I get the most beautiful and unique cards in my mailbox! My happy mail!

Karen, I love your idea. I would request that it be more along the lines of money than plants, please? I am fortunate to live in an area without Chilli Thrips, but they will eventually arrive. They are creeping northward. I have observed them now in many areas of the San Fernando, Simi and Santa Clarita Valleys and found them in public plantings of Iceberg along "The BLVD" in Lancaster this past Friday. Let's please limit plant movement from infected areas into uninfected ones.

Notwithstanding the tragedies that have occurred in N. California... I feel I must say something in defence of Eucalyptus trees, at least the ones we grow here, and which many of us love and put to good use... ...There are I think 3 varieties that have been popular for a long time... Eucalyptus gunnii, Eucalyptus dalrympleana and perhaps the most attractive of all Eucalyptus pauciflora ssp. niphophila [Snow Gum].... ...you can see any of these pop up in gardens all over the place... I've grown 2 of the 3... We now also have 2 dwarf versions, Eucalyptus gunnii 'Azura' and 'France Bleu'... ..'Azura' is very dwarf, almost a miniature... 'FB' is larger but very slow growing, a dwarf gunnii.. I would love to have 'Azura' and might be on my shopping list... The way to use gunnii I think is to give screening to a garden where you are overlooked by a neighbouring property that is on higher ground. A single specimen tree will do, it grows 6 foot a year, so within 2 years or so you start to have cover. It's crucial with this plant to cut 6 foot off the top with one incision every year in April, when it has reached just beyond the height you need for screening... if you miss a year it gets away from you and you have lost control.... I also used my plant to support a rambling rose... I grew 'Leontine Gervais' up it right to the top, where it would then cascade downwards, more so after the annual prune... the light pink and the blue foliage I found very attractive.. ..I also planted Cistus purpureus around the base and a tree lupin... gardeners here don't make enough use of these trees like this.. they plant them, neglect them, and before you know it, you've got a 40 foot tall tree on your hands.. there is one in a garden near me, it's about the tallest tree around here, perhaps 60 foot or more, that is just not the way to do it in my opinion.. used to best effect as single specimens, these are superlative trees, and I absolutely love them... I do not like to see them planted en masse, like a small wood [there are some here like that]... I'm so sorry, and was not aware, they had been over planted in California and that they have contributed to the fires..

Has Anyone Heard from Long Ago Roses?
Q
Comments (3)
I heard from her about the ones that I asked for since early of 2021 (last year). But her Austins were sold out within the 1st minute thanks to some big orders of 50 or 20 roses. I was able to get non-Austins plus Wise Portia (I asked for Wise Portia early in 2021 when mine died through that winter). I gave a long list of substitutes knowing that Austins would be sold out fast. Also with Roses Unlimited summer sale for the past decade, I never could get any Austins except for loser like A Shopshire Lad. I got into the habit of giving a very long list of substitutes for Roses Unlimited summer sale since 2011, and did the same for LongAgoRoses.

Dear God, how much can one person bear? How very very sad. I wonder what is happening to teh owners of the attack dogs? I wish there was some way to know.

Linda, if you read this, please know that you, your husband and Leah Marie are very much in my heart. I hope better times are just around the corner.

Linda, if you read this, know that I feel really bad with all you have had to endure. There really aren't any words that I can think of to express how bad I feel for you.

Take care.

all my sympathies to you on the loss of your baby; I wish you strength and health in this difficult period.

After reading through all the posts for bessiedawg, I am just amazed. If you are reading this my prayers and thoughts are with you. To be attacked, finding out about pregnancy, losing the dogs and then your precious baby Leah as such a vulnerable time. Just know that there are a lot of us out there wrapping our virtual arms around you and holding you and yours close to our hearts.

Thank you all so much. I didn't realize that this thread was here. We are doing OK, at least most of the time. We had tried not to get too excited about the pregnancy, but of course we really were. We hadn't told anyone yet because of our previous history.

As far as the case goes, there was a preliminary hearing late this morning and the defendants didn't show up. The judge has ordered their bail rescinded and issued a warrant for their arrest. I have a feeling that they will never be found again, but I hope I am wrong.

Thanks again,
Linda

I just dropped the food I was eating. I'm shocked. I have been out on vacation and am just now getting caught up here. I can't believe it. I am so so so sorry for yet another thing you truly didn't deserve. You're in my prayers.

Linda, what can I say? Nothing that might help with all this loss. Just a big hug to both of you and a wish for some peace.
